I'm having trouble with my 280x keeping up in games at 1440p lately, specifically Black Desert. So I'm trying to upgrade to something better for less than $400.
Here's my current build:
https://pchound.com/YDfm2I/
AMD 280x
i5-4690s
16GB RAM
I live in Japan, so prices are a bit different than what I can find on newegg/amazon.
So far what I see are:
Zotac GTX 980 4gb (refurb) for $200
r9 390 (used) for $200
R9 Fury (used) for $360
GTX 1080 (new) for $550
Vega 56 (new) for $590
Any thoughts on what would be something good to shoot for? I'm thinking about jumping on the refurb 980, but would really prefer to get something with 6gb or 8gb of ram. Later on I plan on upgrading the CPU to something like a 4790k to round out the system.
